Was I imagining it or was there supposed to be a new Baphomet's Blood album out this year.?_________________DOOMLORD wrote: ...22 min track and it just fucking crawls like a dying sloth through vomit = PURE EVIL !

Yet again, IRON BONEHEAD PRODUCTIONS discovers one of the best,
brightest/darkest hopes for underground metal, this time in the form of
diabolical black metallers HERETIC CULT REDEEMER and their
self-titled debut. From seemingly out of nowhere - or a nameless abyss,
at least - arrives Heretic Cult Redeemer, but the band actually comprises
veterans from the fertile Greek black/death metal scene which includes
such bands as Acrimonious, Necrovorous, and Embrace of Thorns.
And that experience shows across the band's debut album, as
HERETIC CULT REDEEMER redeem gnarly, orthodox black metal
into something epic and daring, each cavernous 'n' careening
construct opening up new portals into the beyond whilst keeping the
intensity feverish. Hideous and transcendent, herald the arrival of
HERETIC CULT REDEEMER.

Sure to be one of the most year's most vile and perverse records,
Invocations of Necro-Sodomy/Dark Realm Mysticism unites two of
the black metal underground's nastiest cults, NAZARENE WHORE
and NOCTURNAL EVIL. Both one-man entities have been plying their
dirty trade for over a decade now, prolifically defiling the underground
with a foul, fetid foundation firmly built upon early Beherit and Havohej.
NAZARENE WHORE is the foremost band of American Ray Rivera, who's
also done Sacreligious Torment, Anuus Altaar, and seemingly a hundred
other projects; here, he vomits forth three nun-raping rituals.
NOCTURNAL EVIL is the work of Argentina's Eric "Nocturnal" Lancon, lately
known for his band Infernal Curse and also the main mind behind
Baphometal Zine & Productions; here, he churns out one torrent of
blackshitnoise. Together, trendy ears shall be bespoiled by this split 7".

At long last, the entirety of CRUCIFIER’s recorded work during the dark, epochal 1990s is collected on double-LP vinyl, courtesy of IRON BONEHEAD PRODUCTIONS. Entitled Coffins Through Time…A Mourning in Nazareth, this 2LP collection comprises CRUCIFIER’s four demos - Humans Are Such Easy Prey (’91), Crown of Thorns (’92), Unparalleled Majesty (’93), and By Disgrace of God (’93) – alongside their Powerless Against tape from ’96 and the Trafficking With the Dead split with Nunslaughter from ’99. Long-running and well-respected in the metal underground, CRUCIFIER perfected a twisted and morbid sort of death metal that maintained a blasphemous, blackened edge that band leader/founder Cazz Grant would then expand upon in UG legends Grand Belial’s Key. CRUCIFIER’s lineups may have always been shifting, but their commitment to dark, deathly arts always remained firm, which can be heard in all evilness across Coffins Through Time…A Mourning in Nazareth, all of which has been powerfully remastered by P. Engel at Temple of Disharmony. Featuring a 16-page booklet featuring extensive liner notes, old photos, and flyers as well as an A2 poster and quintessential Chris Moyen cover art, this is the ultimate CRUCIFIER collection and a tribute to ancient times.

Originally released in 2012, ABYSSOUS' ...Smouldering debut demo displayed a fresh take on a rotten sound. Ever unearthing dark treasures, IRON BONEHEAD releases this cult gem on vinyl LP, bolstered by two newly recorded, previously unreleased tracks. Anchored in the ancient ways of the Metal of Death yet exuding a bold, flowing flair for songcraft, ABYSSOUS compositionally run the gamut from teeth-gnashing, tempting-the-corners-of-chaos violence to slowly simmering, doomed-out dementia, taking the listener on a journey to eldritch depths...and beyond, and back. Through it all, the power-trio keep the execution red-eyed and rabid and indeed ...Smouldering. Now with a cavernous, 3D mastering job by P. Engel at Temple of Disharmony and new artwork by Misanthropic Art, ABYSSOUS' ...Smouldering has become that much more mind-melting.
